I miss being severely hyperthyroid :(

Have Graves Disease and while the symptoms weren't pleasant I felt SO much better than I do now on carbimazole.

I'm fat, lethargic, zoned out, have greasy hair for the first time in my life. Just generally feel sick and unwell and totally bloody crap 😞.

Saw my consultant last week and she suggested the possibility of lowering the dosage after my next appt in April. I know it's comes down to getting the balance right but at the minute I would gladly go back to my wired and super active andskinny old self with Graves.

Yes, I agree they do suck! (Although I am underactive). I hate the fact that I have take the medication (although I'm glad there is some) . I don't like feeling my numbers are changeable, that medical people (and gps) don't agree on the significance of the numbers, that I feel out of control.

I do feel a lot better than I did (some years down the line) but my hair is still thinner than I'd like and my weight is not what I want to be and I feel like it's 10x harder to sort than it should be, and not just about lack of willpower.

How long have you been on the Carbimazole? Are you on block and replace or just the Carb? It sounds as though you have gone a bit hypo and need to reduce the dosage. Always insist on a printout of your results. I was on Carbimazole for 18 months and didn't want to come off of it. I felt fine taking it once the dose was lowered. If I have a relapse I will have to have surgery or RAI and the replacement thyroxine (which is so difficult to regulate).
